Carry case for the Sky-Watcher EQ5 equatorial mount head
If you own a Sky-Watcher EQ5 equatorial mount, you already know that its head is neither light nor compact. Transporting it without proper protection is an unnecessary risk - and that is exactly why this dedicated aluminium carry case was developed. It is designed to keep the EQ5 mount head (including the GoTo version) safe during transport to an observing site, a star party, or simply when storing it at home.
Everything in one place
The carry case for the Sky-Watcher EQ5 mount offers a well-thought-out interior that accommodates not only the mount head itself, but also the counterweight bar, polar axis cap, handset controller and all necessary cables. Everything stays together in one place - no more searching for a misplaced cap or a GoTo handset. For GoTo version owners this is particularly convenient, as the electronics and cables deserve the same care as the mount mechanics themselves.
Durable aluminium construction
The case is made from aluminium, which combines strength with relatively low weight. Aluminium cases are popular in the astronomy community for good reason - they withstand impacts, protect the contents from moisture and offer long-term reliability. The interior is shaped so that the mount head sits firmly in place and cannot shift during transport. This is especially important for precision mechanics, which an equatorial mount certainly is.
Ideal for regular transport and storage
This transport case for the EQ5 mount head is the perfect companion for anyone who regularly takes their mount on the road - whether travelling to dark sky sites outside the city or simply needing a safe place to store it between observing sessions. Investing in a quality case will quickly pay off in the form of preserved axial alignment and a longer service life for the entire mount.
Compatibility
The case is designed for the Sky-Watcher EQ5 equatorial mount head in both versions - standard and GoTo. It is not intended for the tripod or counterweights; it serves exclusively for transporting the mount head and small accessories.
Why choose this aluminium case?
- Purpose-built fit for the EQ5 mount head - standard and GoTo
- Space for the counterweight bar, polar axis cap, handset and cables
